Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Hearing Chan's words, Lan Qi couldn't help looking out, as if she was worried that the walls had ears, she didn't know when she would develop this vigilant instinct, and when she realized it, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.

"I'm going to give birth in the first month, no matter what happened to the empress dowager before or after that, it's not my turn to intervene." Lan Qi lowered her head and gently stroked her swollen belly, whispering softly, "I wish I could let you The Empress Dowager takes a look at this child."

Jue Chan saw that Concubine De was full of sadness, and understood the deep relationship between Concubine De and the Empress Dowager, but other people really wouldn't be so emotional, such as herself, the Empress Dowager was nothing more than a superior person in the Palace of Compassion and Peace to her The elders of the royal family are the existences that she cannot look directly at and cannot approach. To her, it has no practical meaning.If she were to be extremely saddened by the death of an old man with no feelings, it would be okay to pretend or be infected by the sad atmosphere. Once she jumped out of these, she would only be able to calmly look at everything that was about to happen.

She said cautiously: "It's best if you don't think about it yourself, but it's hard to prevent someone from rushing to get you involved. The matter of the Empress Dowager will last for three or two days. Please be careful about everything, Your Majesty."

Lan Qi knew that Jue Chan's intentions were good, but at the same time she accepted it wholeheartedly, she really couldn't listen to such words, she didn't want to let him down and listened calmly, and only waited for the nobleman Jue Chan to leave before she said to Huanchun with tears in her eyes: People are thinking about these things, the Empress Dowager is still fine, why can't they wait? Even myself, starting from Changchun Garden, I have planned for the future..."

These are all sad words, no matter how strong and calm you are in front of others, once you break down in private, there is no way for anyone to persuade you except to vent your feelings completely. These days, the master will cry from time to time. Going out will be calm again, not worrying that she will be trapped in sadness and unable to extricate herself.But after all, the Empress Dowager is still here, and no one knows what will happen after she really leaves.

Originally, Huanchun and the others couldn't coax them well, and the emperor could rely on him, but now no one is more sad than this Ninth Five-Year Lord, even her master is probably not as good.But he is a man, an emperor, and shoulders the responsibility of his family, country, and world. He cannot express his emotions at will like Lan Qi, but day after day, the aura around him is already reminiscent of the scene when Queen Hesheli died in the past. Eunuch Li and the others waited carefully all day long, for fear that the slightest incident would anger the emperor Longyan.

This day, the business of the Qing Palace was over, the emperor couldn't change his clothes in time, let alone get down to prepare the sedan chair, and walked to the emperor's grandmother in court clothes. Eunuch Li and the others were surprised when they saw it, and hurried forward. The children over there were also startled, and stood in a row waiting on the side of the road. Brothers.

The third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother only followed a few little eunuchs sporadically, and none of the people who were supposed to be following them disappeared. There is no doubt that they sneaked out from the study.

"Where's Yinyou?" The emperor looked gloomy, and counted the children, not counting Yinti and the crown prince, only the seventh elder brother was missing.

"Hui, Huihuang Ama, the seventh brother has a fever today and didn't come to the study." The third elder brother replied tremblingly, he was the oldest of the four children, if anything happened, he must be punished first.On the contrary, the elder brother who is somewhat responsible, although he is afraid of his father's censure, he rushes forward to answer.

Xuan Ye was not as angry as the children imagined. These boys came to hang around the gate of the Palace of Compassion. Apart from wanting to go in and see their great-grandmother, what other ideas did they have? He was very comforted in his heart. He had a fever, but he didn't know it at all, and he couldn't help adding a bit of guilt as a father, and his face turned ugly for a while, which frightened the children.

"Huang Ama, we want to pay our respects to our great-grandmother." The youngest eighth elder brother said gently, as if he was not afraid of his father's majesty, looking at him longingly, and said reverently, "Ama, today's grandma in the study We have done our homework."

The fifth elder brother pulled the younger brother and told him to keep quiet, but he couldn't stop the fourth elder brother beside him from speaking. He was not as gentle and cute as the eighth elder brother. The elder brother who was a few years older had a serious face. Show us the posture of visiting our great-grandmother, and seriously say to his father: "Huang Ama, we all want to see our great-grandmother. We can't concentrate on studying these days, and we hope Ama will make it happen."

The different personalities of the children are fully revealed in a few words. Perhaps they are moved by their filial piety at the moment, which makes the father pleasing to the eye no matter what he looks at. Turning red, she raised her hand and said, "Go in, don't disturb your great-grandmother."

The third elder brother was very happy, and was about to run inside, but was dragged back by Yinzhen. The four of them saluted their father together, and then walked in quietly one by one. He breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to follow through the door, the emperor asked him: "Where is the prince?"

Eunuch Li was nervous in vain, and now the crown prince's words and deeds are under the control of him and the emperor, he can't guarantee that the other people sent by the emperor will not tell the truth, so he can only answer truthfully: "His Royal Highness, you are still studying in Yuqing Palace."

"Did he ever say that he would visit the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion?" Xuan Ye said plainly with no expression on his face, "A few days ago, I asked him to come to the Palace of Compassion more often."

Eunuch Li only felt that his body was heavy. Could it be that starting with a few words from his mouth, he would gradually widen the gap between father and son?

"Do you have?"

When Eunuch Li was in a daze, the emperor asked again, and the old man hurriedly replied: "I have never heard such a thing, but... I heard from the prince that you must concentrate on preparing for the lectures in the spring of the first lunar month."

After saying this, the emperor entered the door like a gust of wind, without saying a word, instead, Eunuch Li was stunned for a while, and when he followed up, he saw the emperor standing motionless under the corridor next to the door.

Passing over the emperor's body, he could see in front of the empress dowager's dormitory in the distance, the potbellied concubine Defei was talking to several elder brothers with a smile, her words were friendly and gentle, and she even grabbed the eighth elder brother's hand to warm him.Not long after, the curtain in front of the door was raised, as if the inside was ready, and Empress Defei led the four children in quietly.

Eunuch Li secretly raised his head to look at the emperor, the emperor's moist eyes made him panic, a door, what he said just now outside, and the scene he saw inside at this moment, are really two worlds.

The emperor's shoulders rose and fell slightly, as if he let out a long sigh, and then told Eunuch Li: "Send someone to Yuqing Palace, and ask the crown prince to come with you. The brothers are all here, and the empress dowager is even more happy. Eldest brother is not here today." In the palace, pass a message along the way and ask him to bring Fujin into the palace tomorrow." After a pause, he even said, "If his Fujin is not in good health, he will take a sedan chair to pick him up."

Eunuch Li didn't dare to say anything superfluous except for saying yes. The emperor was obviously angry, and he also knew that the elder brother Fujin had been avoiding entering the palace. Since the emperor reprimanded the elder brother in Changchun Garden last time, Even the eldest daughter-in-law of the emperor is gone.

Afterwards, the emperor entered the grandmother's dormitory, together with several children to make the empress dowager happy, the old man had no energy to speak, but she was not in a hurry at all, and looked at the children with a comfortable smile, obviously her body was aging, but it was not weakened at all. Majestic and solemn.

When the prince came from Yuqing Palace, he heard the eighth elder brother endorsement outside the door. The eighth elder brother was very smart, and people said that he was smarter than the prince of the same age. Yinfeng raised his eyebrows and settled down, and walked in slowly. .Seeing their elder brother coming, several children saluted respectfully. The younger brothers have long been used to being separated from the crown prince, but for some reason, Xuan Ye felt inexplicably uncomfortable seeing it today.

When Yinreng came to the Empress Dowager, the old man asked a few words, the prince was polite, just like his younger brothers, coaxing the great grandmother to let her live in peace, the Empress Dowager looked very happy, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

But I don't know if Lan Qi has ulterior motives in her heart, or the atmosphere in the dormitory has really turned sour right now, why does she feel that since the prince entered the door, the family happiness just now has ended?

"Great-grandmother wants to rest, you all go back." The emperor told his sons to leave, but then told the prince, "Yinfeng, the queen mother is not feeling well today, you take your younger brothers to Ningshou Palace to pay your respects, go early and return early, don't worry about it." Prevent the Queen Mother from resting."

All the elder brothers agreed one after another, and went out with the prince. As soon as the children left, the room that was still busy just now became quieter. Lan Qi even felt a little cold. The queen mother told her that she wanted to drink jujube tea.

Lan Qi took Huan Chun to serve tea, and when she came back from serving tea, she only heard the empress dowager's old voice saying: "Xuan Ye, the prince will always be the prince."

Both of them noticed the movement of Lan Qi entering the door. They didn't know whether they ended the conversation on purpose or just ended the sentence just now. They didn't see any embarrassment. Xuan Ye took the jujube tea with his own hands and fed the grandmother a few mouthfuls. Said: "Sweet and sweet, it has been this taste for more than ten years."

Xuan Ye looked at Lan Qi approvingly, and said to her grandmother: "She is very attentive, knowing that you will remember the taste of this tea, and the cost of food and clothing does not matter, but the jujube and honey that come to make tea every year , there must be no mistakes at all. Only in this matter, I have pestered my grandson several times, and it will not work to give her the best dates, saying that the taste is not right."

Lan Qi sat down beside the Empress Dowager with a smile, wiped the tea from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Look at the emperor, I have remembered how many baskets of jujubes my concubine wants for so long, how dare I ask for another one?" something?"

The Empress Dowager smiled cheerfully, as if she was tired, and after resting for a long time, she breathed out again and said, "Everything about you, which one doesn't he remember?"
